２月２５日、「首相の息子」高額接待問題のマキコ内閣広報官は衆議院予算委員会で陳謝したが、辞職しないとし、事実関係を隠ぺいしたまま責任を取らないと批判された。
スガは「女性初の内閣広報官をそのまま続けてもらう。Let It Be」などと、女性尊重であるかのごとくごまかそうとした。ふだんは女性差別的なのに、こういう時だけ女性尊重のふりをする。
３月１日、マキコ内閣広報官は体調不良と入院の必要ありと辞表を提出し、これが受理され、辞任となった。収賄疑惑マキコを更迭せず、判断力不足を露呈したスガに、野党やメディアだけでなく、ジミン党内からもため息が漏れる。

Let It Be
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Makiko comes to me
Speaking words of Settai
Let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Don’t pass Settai
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Not to be absent from Settai
Let it be
And when the broken-hearted prime minister
Living in the Hell agree
There will be an answer
Let it be
For through they may be parted
There is still a chance of bribery
There will be answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Oh, let it be, let it be
Yeah, there will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Speaking words of Settai
Let it be
And when there is the son of prime minister
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on still tomorrow
Let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Makiko comes to me
Speaking words of Settai
Let it be
Yeah, let it be, let it be
Oh, let it be, let it be
Yeah, there will be an answer
Let it be
